First Road Trip In My New Tesla Model 3! FSD Taking Us To Kansas City

[@scotsrule08]

New character unlocked ✅ Welcome Jess

[@SparkySho]

Seems nerdy cool enuf so far

[@smartmoon786]

Please list all the characters unlocked in the last year

[@rkwan67]

Jess never stop smiling

[@oceanNmotoWoman]

Hi Jess!!

[@JohnEFly]

Great video guys, but I have to critique one thing. Jordan says Tesla advertises that V13 will drive you to a supercharger stall and back in for you. Where have they done that? It's not actually an advertised feature yet. Sometimes it will do that, but it's not something it claims to do. People have just shown it doing it so people assume it's a fully supported feature. In fact, self parking on FSD is not an officially supported feature yet either, even though sometimes it does it. I think expectations are starting to get a little bit ahead of reality at this point due to all of the improvements Tesla has been making.

[@WizdogC]

Wow, Jess is great! Totally a natural on camera. Hope you get excuses to have more videos with her!

[@SparkySho]

……. Teach her camera work?

[@AndrewStilin]

Awesome co-roadtripper, Jess! 😁 Also, you can't even tell I was sleeping under the coats in the backseat the whole time!

[@mattl7967]

Nowhere does Tesla advertise that this version parks itself at Superchargers. Great video but you kept harping on a feature that isn’t even a feature.

[@weich1q2w]

In the release notes they says it has unpark and park. Yet it doesn't park

[@mhsohel47]

Automatic Parking is not fully integrated yet in this version.

[@YuenanCao]

She is a nice addition as she is gives off a happy vibe

[@NoHarmDunn]

I’ve never seen it advertised in its current version that it auto parks to a supercharger stall. In future versions, I’ve seen it promised. At the 51 minute mark, your navigation was completed and automatically put itself in park, which is why you couldn’t move forward Also more Jess, it was nice to see a new perspective.

[@tonyvelasco5732]

This version does not advertise that it can park itself at chargers. Parking is an upcoming feature. It is not specifically in this version designed to park correctly at your destination supercharger or elsewhere. Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't, and it isn't designed to in this version. There is no need to hit the brake to turn it on and off as that's just a checkbox that you can check or uncheck. When I get to my parking lot at work each morning, FSD completes in front of the front doors. Then I tell it to pick a parking spot using the auto park feature, and it parks itself. That's as it is currently designed. This version's breakthrough new features are to be smoother, to make better lane changes and lane decisions in prep for turns, to be able to start from a parking spot, and to be able to go in reverse when it gets into difficult situations when necessary. It also U turns much better than prior versions.

[@kevincurry4735]

A new J and J team. Also Andres hiding in the back seat. 😂

[@chrisgasmith]

53:30 Possible unpopular opinion here but I think the traction from snow tires more important than awd for most cars

[@gchetail]

I agree. Traction is not the real problem in snow conditions. it's stopping/braking. so the snow tires are really important.

[@Steinegal]

Yeah living in Northern Norway winter tires are mandated for snow and ice conditions and we usually have snow and ice on roads from October until May, AWD can help you get out of a sticky situation and getting up to speed faster, but you might get into trouble because you can’t stop fast enough or getting down the steep hill is harder than going up. It is especially common to see SUVs in the ditch as they think they are invincible on icy roads😅

[@ElectricBrian]

It was great meeting Jess! Awesome to have some input from a rookie EV road tripper!

[@DonBurke1]

You can turn off the requirement to touch the brake pedal to initiate FSD. It's a very different experience without the brake.

[@scotsrule08]

I’m sure you already know, but the break pedal tap to start FSD is not required. Can be toggled on and off in the settings.

[@evpunker]

I was just going to add this info too. Come on Jordan!! 😉

[@mthuhn]

I wanted to correct you about something. The parking feature for FSD. Is not available yet. Fully. So technically it does park, sometimes They did not. Put the UI. In the software. So, you can choose what you wanted to do when it arrives. So right now, a randomly chooses if it is a stops. Or parks, etc. That's coming in a future release.

[@ChaimLoecher]

Jordan, this was a great "first time user" video, just very basic get-in-and -drive Tesla video. No fancy words and great commentary. Thanks

[@Guinnessisgoodforyou]

jess never stopped smiling the whole trip, more jess please.

[@adamchoi8136]

I think with road trips now I value fsd more than cost efficiency. It keeps me fresh and does make the long rides more enjoyable.

[@davidh3194]

Jordan, really liked meeting Jess. She is confident, smart and has an infectious smile. You two an are great together. Hopefully we’ll see her often. Love to see her drive on a road trip and comment on the experience. Cheers!

[@Frankomd]

Fun video. Way to go Jordan and Jess! Looking forward to more such road trips, perhaps with both of you.

[@samanthahagan]

First time Tesla road tripper AND first time meeting the parents? Jess, you are grace under pressure and a joy to watch. If you feel comfortable and want to do so, please keep making more appearances!

[@TalismanPHX]

Awesome toadtrip. The backgtound music is amazing too. Jess is a great addition. 😊

[@g0dfath3r71]

Jordan and Jess road trips for a win! 🤘👍

[@vegajf51]

Jess seems great, love her constant smile!

[@nthused]

We recently road tripped in our 2023 Model 3 from Dallas to Providence RI. Used FSD MOST of the time to get there. Had same issue at Supercharger stations. Forgot what version of the FSD we were on…but took the trip in late October. I was VERY impressed with the performance as well. THE best roadtrip car I’ve owned.

[@buford1966]

Awesome! Great Job with this video. You two are fantastic together!

[@ericn3221]

Jess is beautiful and well spoken and could be a nice addition to the channel!

[@garybearman8771]

*will

[@SparkySho]

109%

[@SparkySho]

Already is

[@adamsearle7217]

Great wrap up summary of where things are at. Always fun to see another person on the road trip! Also loved the editing on this, the long timelapse segments were great

[@boballen9095]

For what it's worth, I've found that the ability to toggle back and forth between the display for % of charge remaining vs. miles remaining, just tap it. This makes it easy to compare with the _distance_ to your next charging stop. Apples to apples allows increased confidence. Two things about FSD 13.2.2 - 1. None of the versions have ever recognized handicap only parking. 2. Even this version still does not handle _diagonal_ parking, which is what the diagonal stripes marking out the handicap wheelchair loading zone looked like. Confusion!

[@llcooljay66]

13.2.2 doesn't have parking yet per the notes. You need to park or break it out and select a stall via auto park. It will try to park but a robot taxi won't need to park

[@RedvinezYGO]

An official parking feature is already announced for a future FSD update, when it does it now it’s just emergent behavior from its training

[@alex135789]

Thank you. The entire video I was cursing at the guy on my screen. 😂 All you need to do is get out of FSD and select a parking spot on the screen. The car parks perfectly every time.

[@TheAiKonnekt]

I personal car with FSD will need to park.

[@Jordan_Schiefer]

@@alex135789 Very interesting that it has auto-parked at 3 superchargers so far though. I definitely misread the notes on that, but the fact it auto parked at a charging stall at the very first stop made me think it must be a thing

[@DonBurke1]

Standard mode always gets out of the left lane. Hurry isn't afraid to stay in the left lane.

[@mhill2468]

4:57 You gotta toggle off the “Tap Brake to Confirm” in Autopilot settings. It’s on by default

[@SoyElDiabloRojo]

@38:09 Jess: "Yeah it's about the company you keep enhancing the journey, my boy!" haha welcome to the nerd crew!

[@6GZL1]

The parking at destination isn’t actually complete yet, but you can tell that it’s in the programming because it tries to do it sometimes even now. Auto park without driver input at destination is set to come out in a later point release, I’m sure it will be better when that’s official. It is fun to see what it will do though. 😂

[@dRadddd]

I’m not sure that’s true that’s it’s not included. When navigating to a charger, it auto parks for me without selecting a spot. I don’t know what else this would be doing if it’s not auto parking (it pulls in and backs up to a stall…..though it kept trying to park in the handicap stall)

[@6GZL1]

@ it’s listed as an upcoming feature, not current. It also doesn’t consistently park or always park correctly at the destination. It’s definitely not completed yet. As I said, you can tell that it’s in the works because it does park or attempt to park in some situations.

[@tonyvelasco5732]

​@@dRaddddIt isn't included, that's just emergent behavior. That is literally in the release notes as an upcoming feature. Yes, mine also sometimes parks at a supercharger spot, but sometimes it just pulls up near them.​

[@williamjulien5858]

Switch off Brake confirmation for FSD starting.

[@1AdamDaily]

Great video! Also impressed how quiet Andreas was hiding in back seat.

[@AndrewStilin]

😂😂

[@nathanwolf5547]

Jess is so cool. You guys seem well suited. It was a very interesting video because I’ve only seen videos from really built up areas until now. I wonder what it will be like when it eventually comes to the UK?

[@mjbates]

I've been loving FSD for my regular trip from Tucson to LA and back. The only issue I have is at night when I'm the only car on the road it'll say "side camera blocked, FSD degraded" just because there isn't enough light. If I'm in FSD, it'll keep working, but if I have to disengage for any reason, I won't be able to reengage (sometimes for MILES) until there's a car on my side to shine enough light around me. Kinda frustrating. FWIW, I think the v13 autopark needs work as well. It's flawless when I disengage, spots show up on screen, and I pick one. But, I've had it even pull in front first to a supercharger when I let it park itself 🤣.

[@berthogendoorn2133]

I set my Supercharging filter to version 3 only, so as to eliminate version 2 Supercharger. If there is an issue you can always edit your charge stops.

[@keithmcdonnell4485]

57:46 As soon as I saw them sitting there I was just waiting for the sunglasses to fall :D

[@mp3mike237]

I think one of the things you can report in the app for Superchargers now is issues with navigation directing to the site. So, you should do that and see if Tesla fixes it.

[@scottbalak7123]

I agree whole heartedly that road trip charging delay is not much of a thing. I find myself rushing at every stop to get all my stuff done in < 20 minutes (10% to 80%) to avoid the idle charge.

[@martinsandbach7408]

Perhaps the vehicle chose the right option of picking the V2 because theoretically it also knew the speed wouldn't be different because you weren't deep in the pack and it chose being courteous to other drivers who might arrive shortly after you and need a V3.

[@SteveM1966]

Great video as usual. On to the return! You two make a great couple! 😊 Got the same car in KC on 12/23/24 in Quicksilver 👍👏

[@WilliamDeanPlumbing]

FYI.... Parking at destination chargers isn't here yet but advertised as "COMMING" in future updates.

[@davidbaker9943]

Congrats Jordan and Jess! Thanks for the content. Hope you guys had a good time in KC

[@SparkySho]

Hiya Tess glad ur here tyvm for giving Jordan attention he sure seems happy with you

[@jonathanmelhuish4530]

I'm impressed by FSD too, but in your summary at the end you forgot that you had 2 safety critical disengagements!

[@SueC56]

He likes to look on the bright side.

[@peterwojnar5781]

I don't like to use FSD in my Model 3 as it seems to like to find every pot hole.

[@jawaring]

Yea they definitely don’t dodge road hazards

[@BolajiDanielsIlori]

Isn't it somebody's job to fix the potholes?

[@anton_grahn]

Where does it advertise it can pull it to sc spots? Thought specific end of trip actions where coming in an upcoming update?

[@lovelife247lol]

That’s how I understood the release notes.

[@rebemup]

Yes, clearly expectations exceeding product official description.

[@dandaigle4546]

absolutely love this speeded up version and good music, grats on the girl friend

[@SparkySho]

Justin Bieber??

[@scottarseneault6601]

You guys make a great team. You’re wonderful smiles and positive vibes make the world a better place. Thanks for the content.

[@danielrivero8593]

Jordan and Jess the video was great.

[@sarahrank7713]

I have the exact same car as you, Jordan, including white interior. I traded in my 2023 RWD for this one. You’re right in that it’s next level; the car rides significantly quieter and smoother. I used to have a 2015 Lexus ES350 and the refreshed M3 rides similar. But with better tech of course!! I had the opportunity to use the FSD on a short road trip earlier this week and it’s impressive. The automatic lane changes are perfection and it’s nice to not have to touch the wheel at all.

[@Weezedog]

You really don't save any money using an EV for long trips when compared to a similar ICE vehicle, and you have to spend more time charging. It is a good reason for a multicar household to have an EV for daily trips and an ICE for long trips. It's also why I'm so disappointed vehicles like the Chevy Volt were discontinued, they were the perfect combination of EV power for around town and 50mpg hybrid ICE for long trips. I miss my Volt, real shame there aren't more series hybrids/EVs with gasoline range extenders. I remember only filling up 1 time in 9 months in my Volt.

[@malcewicz]

You guys really don't appreciate how cheap gas really is in the US. I live in Europe and the same trip in an EV is 1.5x to even 2x cheaper than ICE. Honestly though even if it's the same price I'd still say it's worth it because of all the savings on daily trips.

[@Blade70]

FSD has made me travel more because I feel like someone is just driving me around.

[@toddcortelletti1428]

Thanks!

[@LynelSeawood]

Hello. I'm from the Kc area. I recently purchased a used 21 Model Y LR this June and in September took it to Colorado Springs (Pikes Peak) and back. You won't find many Ev's in the city its self, you''ll see them much more in the suburbs on the Ks side (Johnson County). It cost me more to drive to Colorado Springs with 5 stops vs coming back to Kc with 4 stops. It was also my first "long" road trip and going to Colorado I wanted to charge more but coming back I was more used the how it worked (charging that is)

[@SparkySho]

Jordan’s model 3 is the best model 3 I’ve ever seen -My favorite 👍

[@Gary_Walker90]

The destination parking function is not fully implemented yet such as backing into chargers etc.

[@jawaring]

That’s crazy efficient. My MYLR is mid to high 300’s wh/mi in the winter at 80 mph with the heat on

[@ahbushnell1]

The proper technical term is bladder range.

[@davidc4574]

At Abilene, you were just down the street from the new iONNA site under construction just north of the I-70 exit.

[@HeathRS]

I live in Wisconsin and own a Model Y Performance and a Model 3 RWD. There’s not a lot in my town. I’m about 45 minutes from Madison and I see a decent amount there. With our direct to consumer laws in Wisconsin, I have to drive to Chicago, IL to pick up new Teslas.

[@dennissabo3885]

Okay Jordan. You must admit, with FSD now, it's much better than it's first iteration. We are close to full autonomy. Jess is sooo cute. Please include her with more videos. Would be nice for her to be part of the OOS team!!

[@Brettstv]

First…great video! Great co-host addition…welcome Jess. Now…please use personal mics for each of you. Would be so much nicer to listen to while underway on the freeway/highway. Love the video.

[@BradC44]

Jordan, have you noticed that FSD doesn't see and avoid potholes?

[@mikemullikin6312]

Lots of EVs here in Minneapolis despite the cold weather and your state level incentives in Colorado are so nice.

[@SparkySho]

@ 11 :27 th rumble strips are a great wake up call “ hey would unlike coffee an donughtsbw/that wake up call?? Ha

[@teslatrooper1447]

Where does it advertise it will back into a stall for you?

[@weich1q2w]

Pulling 271 wh/mi going 85mph on average is stellar compared to my 22' M3LR which would hit that easily going 70mph on 19" sport wheels

[@patrickxie5333]

Question. Road trip you have to keep eyes on the road. Do you feel bored, and easy to fall sleep since you don’t do anything. And if not. How you keep yourself awake?

[@therock1232100]

17:00 Tesla fsd 13 isn't automatic self parking isn't really in place yet...have to do it manually

[@karzm007]

The new model Y looks great!

[@JRA-650]

It would be helpful if Out Of Spec could do a state of ADS 2025 overview video. I don't know if Telsa releases data on FSD subscriptions and usage but clearly it's the most capable. But are ppl using it? I've been confused why Lucid with all its hardware has de-prioritized driver assist so much...an absolute deal killer for me as are mapped highway only systems. Is Lucid really going to fix that anytime soon? If Musk succeeds in getting the NHTSA to ease up, what 2nd place manufacturer is best positioned to capture market share? Hyundai or will Supercruise/Bluecruise become available on most roads?? You guys seem to have the manufacturer contacts... what are you hearing? Thanks for all your infotainment videos!

[@malcewicz]

Lucid is making huge net losses, like unfathomably large, last quote I've seen was from Q2 and it came up as -$328,000 per vehicle sold. Making a competitive ADAS requires a lot of work and money, so I guess Lucid thought it wasn't a priority, as they're losing enough money as is

[@JRA-650]

Right so why start development of a 3rd vehicle before the 1st 2 fully work? Just saying as Fisker found out good design is not enough on its own.

[@malcewicz]

@@JRA-650 that's a good question and I don't know. I'd have to follow their situation more closely.

[@davesvoboda2785]

You should do more "completely new to..." newbie moments. Last spring, my wife and I bought our first EV, an old Leaf, and also just for the Tesla experience, rented a Model 3LR and drove it for a vacation from Longmont to Harrisburg, PA, visiting family. This is hard to admit. As an EV enthusiast and follower of Out of Spec and several other EV channels, I learned all about road tripping, charge curves, charger hipping, etc. But somehow I totally missed how to charge. That is, I didn't know about the button on the Supercharger handle. The whole week I either just tapped the handle on the door, or used the app, or the car screen. Embarrassing in retrospect, a new cyber truck owner at a supercharger asked me how to do it, and I passed on my ignorance. So, I really appreciate the little newbie moments.

[@PassiveMoney1979]

it did not fail, it was just creeping forward for visibility and you got paranoid.....

[@Anders-u3b]

Km/kwh on screen mentions would be very much appreciated here in Europe. Thanks

[@Discoducky73]

49:20 There is a shared left turn lane. FSD uses that lane to merge. There was a gap from the left side, thus FSD would have moved into the shared center lane and then merged.

[@voldar70]

Use Standard and your Tesla will not be a left lane hugger. Hurry will hang on the left lane for more time.

[@joshuarosen465]

You want to arrive with a high charge level at your destination so that you don't have to charge immediately before you leave. Tesla's don't have manual preconditioning so going to a nearby Supercharger sucks, you always want to go to one that's far enough away so that there is time to precondition the battery. We spent New Year's in Portland Maine. We picked up takeout Dim Sum and then went to the Portland Supercharger which is less than a mile from the restaurant. The charging speed was awful, around 60KW because the temperature was chilly and you can't do much preconditioning in .7 mile. In our case the slow speed was a plus because we were eating our Dim Sum and it gave us enough time to finish. But unless you are doing what we were, eating a meal, you want to splash and dash so always arrive with enough juice so that you can drive an hour before the first Supercharger stop.

[@jamesa4289]

LOL similar issue with Hyundai... no manual, although I can leave the car in park 'navigating' to the charger to get some heat in the battery but practically can only due this at home in the garage (the Hyundai has 2 yrs of free charging, so cheaper to pop over to a local super charger).

[@joshuarosen465]

​@@jamesa4289​@jamesa4289 Free charging isn't cheap unless you value your time at 0. You only get so many minutes on this earth and you can't buy more. One of best benefits of owning an EV is that you waste less of your precious life tending to the needs of your car. Not having to drive to a gas station is 10 to 15 hours a year that you get back. That's worth way more then the few dollars you save on your electric bill.

[@sudeeptaghosh]

What can be more relaxing than FSD what would you take FSD or massaging seats ..

[@SueC56]

FSD!

[@AdPa-weird-coffee-person]

19:02 I wonder for that first stop, if the V2 was the better charger because as you said charging would be capped due to your s.o.c. So the V3 would be a misuse and take up a stall for someone at a lower s.o.c.

[@SpottedSharks]

Just south of Oakly are some really neat chalky limestone formations, called Monument Rocks. They are remnants of the Western Interior Seaway which covered much of North America 75 million years ago.

Wheel and tire combo?

[@kuralovien5524]

What speed where you guys cruising at ? Cuz if the car can do 160wh/km with 2 people and air conditioning on, it's def more efficient than other cars you've driven... If you kept cruising at 70mph... It's easier to predict the somewhat accurate range from this information

[@r2awes]

i used to live in kc. the nostalgia from that brown and crouppen ad hit like a brick lmao.

[@BigDaddyInKS]

I live in Overland Park, KS and I agree that Chicago doesn't seem like the Midwest like KC and Denver do. Also you said you didn't see many EVs in KC. Living on the KS side I see many more EVs than I do on the MO side where you two were. I think Johnson County KS has a lot of EVs for a county/state that doesn't have any EV incentives.

[@82mattlopez]

As someone who is from Kansas City Missouri I used to go Whitewater rafting in Colorado every spring and driving across Kansas is the most boring drive in the United States.

[@Cowcow211]

I had a Red Tiger. The battery immediately died after like 2 uses and I sent it back, they promised a replacement, didn't send one. They claimed they had, although couldn't provide a tracking reference. I had to request a non-provision of goods through my credit card provider to get my money back.

[@Solar750]

Model Y owner in the midwest, Rural WI, FSD v13 has been really good. Similar experience to you. Parking is unreliable, but actual driving is great. My biggest concern is when it pulls out in traffic, I doesn't accelerate as much as I'd like it to, and speed limits are weird (i'd like it to just go 5 over, but that seems to be a challenge at the moment). Can you submit requests where the car has the wrong speed limit (especially unmarked roads)?
